Rennae Stubbs defended the ATP's decision not to include Novak Djokovic on the list of nominees for the Stefan Edberg sportsmanship award.
Djokovic was left off the list of nominees for the award that he never won in his career. Djokovic had to watch as Federer was given the award multiple times with Nadal racking up some wins lately as well. It's made his fans furious as they perceive him to be one of the fairer players on the Tour.
One of his fans reacted to the news by writing:
"@jon_wertheim@ATP Again the cabal of @atptour@DKTNNS@jon_wertheim@Martina@PHShriver do mass media against Novak. I respect @ChrissieEvert and @rennaestubbs for having empathy"
Rennae Stubbs reacted to the comment and she wrote:
"Nothing to do with that. Novak is not a great sport on court, he’s been defaulted, broken racquets, etc. among other things. He’s absolutely a gracious loser, I’ll give him that, but this award is for sportsmanship on and off court. So don’t make this about anything but that."
